Enhancement of violaxanthin accumulation in Nannochloropsis oceanica by overexpressing a carotenoid isomerase gene from Phaeodactylum tricornutum

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Nannochloropsis has been considered as a promising feedstock for the industrial production of violaxanthin. However, a rational breeding strategy for the enhancement of violaxanthin content in this microalga is still vacant, thereby limiting its ...

Volatiles of the Apicomplexan Alga Chromera velia and Associated Bacteria

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 24, Issue 3, February 1, 2023., 2023
Passing the smell test: The apicomplexan alga Chromera velia harbours a range of bacteria that have been identified by metagenome analysis. Analysis of the volatile organic compounds in the C. velia and individual bacterial isolates showed an almost absent overlap between the released compounds, thus indicating a low contribution of the bacteria to the

Molecular evolution and diversification of phytoene synthase (PSY) gene family

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2022
Phytoene synthase (PSY) is a crucial enzyme required for carotenoid biosynthesis, encoded by a gene family conserved in carotenoid-producing organisms. This gene family is diversified in angiosperms through distinct duplication events.

Sterol Regulatory Element-Binding Protein (Sre1) Promotes the Synthesis of Carotenoids and Sterols in Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is a basidiomycete yeast that synthesizes carotenoids, mainly astaxanthin, which are of great commercial interest. Currently, there are many unknown aspects related to regulatory mechanisms on the synthesis of carotenoids in

Structural and functional features of phytoene synthase isoforms PSY1 and PSY2 in pepper Capsicum annuum L. cultivars

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2020
The fruits of various pepper cultivars are characterized by a different colour, which is determined by the pigment ratio; carotenoids dominate in ripe fruits, while chlorophylls, in immature fruits.
